Drug Test And Welfare?

As some of you may have heard or read... Under a new Florida law when applying for welfare you have to take a drug test at your own expense. If you fail you will not be able to receive the benefits for a year, If you pass the state reimburses you. And to dig deeper its becoming a popular idea with other states. Indiana also want to not only limit it to welfare they want to use the same model for those applying for unemployment benefits. Here are some key arguments for each side.

Those for it:
1. Think its unfair for taxpayers to have to foot the bill to support homebody's drug habit.
2. This will be able to weed out those abusing the system.

Those against it:
1. How can a person applying for the benefits have the money to pay for a drug test?
2. Drug use is not only contained to those applying for welfare and unemployment. Why should the poor and underprivileged be the target.

So there you have it, I am sure as more states adopt these laws the issue will heat up. But the question is where you stand. I would love feedback.... Take it to the water cooler, Happy hour and tell me what others think as well.
